One of the most well known Caryatids is the Caryatid from the Erechtheion from the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. It was made around 420 BC. This is one of six caryatids that held up the roof of the temple on the Acropolis known as the Erechtheion. She wears a peplos, a simple tunic pinned on each shoulder. Her hair is braided and falls in a thick rope down her back. She probably held a sacrificial vessel in one of the missing hands.
